He is scheduled to being his stint in a Los Angeles jail on March 20.

According to E! News, Brown is to attend three Alcoholics Anonymous classes each week as a condition of his no contest plea. He must pay $800 in fines with penalty assessments attached and also install an ignition interlock device on his vehicle's dashboard; the device acts like a breathalyzer and stalls the car engine if the driver's blood alcohol level is too high.
